Does 1700 units seem a little high to anyone else? We keep hearing a reasonable 371 but almost 2000 in one year seems off. Especially since I still don’t have mine!

371 is for the US.
In context 1700ish makes sense as a total including RoW.

Nice job MB Lets see, Schmee,has his painted, has it at Opus for exhaust work, had it shipped across the world to track it, and yet lit doesn't have his car?????
Look at it this way Lit you will have one of the lowest mileage BS in the US! Flip it, buy a ultra-low mileage Manual 2019 ZR1 and get on the list for the Zora

371 is the exact number, I have every VIN of the USA vehicles, unless I missed one cough*voodoo blue*cough I did speak with the owner, he does have a Project ONE on the way.

I can confirm ~1700 is correct for global production.

My car is sitting in Baltimore since early Summer, I used to be upset about the delays, especially when reading posts from guys who already received them.
Now, I just don't care anymore if or when it finally arrives, I just don't get excited at the thought of driving that thing.
I'm not a speculator so I would not put it on the market to get some profit, might just say the hell with it and ask my dealer to just return the $30k I lost on the transaction made solely to obtain the allocation and call it a day....

I think I speak for all of the BS owners and “owners in waiting” when I say how sorry I am that your and other BS are still stuck either in the port in Germany or one of the MB VPC’S.
I wish I could provide accurate insite into exactly what the holdup is but I don’t have access to the information.
As you know speculation was that it has to do with the carbon fiber spoilers and sub contracted vendor problems. If that is the case, lets all hope that the issues are resolved very soon.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wait for it then flip that thing!! You will make your 30K plus 100K more! Whats the spec.?
I am real glad you finally received your BS. The whole process is an exercise in patience for sure.
You are doing the right thing getting the PPF done before you start to enjoy the car. It’s going to take awhile because of all the cuts that need to be made.
PLEASE be sure to get your windshield done as well.
I’m looking forward to your reports on how much you are enjoying the BS.
Best regrds

Thank you Jerry! I know from looking at some of the recent cars that have come up for sale/auction that the carbon fiber is very vulnerable to pitting, that's why I'm having the dealer deliver the car to the PPF shop first!
Did anyone ever manage to get a decent exhaust system on a U.S market car? Still would like to get that done at some point this year.
I haven't had much occasion to drive the car this year but I did get an excuse to make a 600 mile round trip. In one day. The only downside to the car IMO is that it absolutely wants to fly. Would love to have this car in Germany.

As far as I can tell OPUS in Germany seems to be the only vendor interested in making a good quality performance exhaust.
A few of us contacted them to see if a US product would be made available. To date nothing has developed.
